Slicing and Dicing VeggieTales?

Why is it that the programs that are good,wholesome and have a positive influence have to be editted, while others are allowed to use obscene language and material content that is unfit for children? What kind of a message are we sending? Yes, we can block them out with v-chips and the security code on the remote, but so can the families who don't want their children to watch programs that have God and religion mentioned in them.

Dearest Christian folks, We are the ones that need to make a stand for Christ, we are the ones that has allowed the world to enter into our church, one person..ONE person took the prayers out of the schools..now look at where our nation is..the verse where God will heal our land is not for the world, it is for the Christians, are we turning back to GOD or are we going with the flow,believeing nothing will matter..Just food for thought..sincerely Maria'

Well, since rules take time to change. Why not play the loop hole untill it is changed. I am glad that the "Veggie Tales" I started watching in Junior High are now open to a larger band of yourth, the one who gets up in the morning to watch cartoons quietly before mom and dad wake up. On the same hand I am dissapointed that the scripture reference is to be stripped. Since the revisions are made prior to air time, why not in the Beginning and end reference the Title and a message with plenty of time for children to copy down and just like in commercials for things kids want they can ask to see the real "Veggie Tales," stories that have the versus for them to learn. Usually when a parent is asked to buy such a film and do they will watch it at least once with their children. Then you can almost double up on who the word reaches. Sometimes it takes the courage of a child with wonder to complete such a wonderful task.-Melinda 22

Brother, the menu selection NBC makes in order to victimize us with certain shows is unbelievable. They edit out Christian content yet will leave in all of the trash from other show. Well, I can just as easily edit NBC from the list of networks I choose to watch.

This is totally WRONG! NBC can show movies and TV shows that make living in sin appear to be a "good" way of life. But taking out Bible verse and the "silly songs" from Veggie Tales is how they want to show a Christian based show for kids? What is wrong with them? If you want to buy and play a show, take it for what it is and not strip it down to make it look like something else. This is a CHRISTIAN CARTOON! YOU WANTED IT, YOU GOT IT! God has been taken out of too many things (one thing would be too many) but to take it out of something that is for kids to learn from and hopefully take with themselves and live a good life and treat others with respect? NBC has gone too far. To date, my family owns everything Veggie Tales, but we will not be watching any watered down version or anything else on NBC in the future. I understand my family not watching that network is not going to do anything to them, but I will continue to teach my family good values and to live as Christ.

I know it's fiction, but I can't help but wonder if Studio 60 is slightly reflective of its views on Christians i.e.: nuts in small areas blogging in pajamas and surrounded by cats. Instead of respecting Christians with a Christian show, they are afraid of upsetting the non religious? Huh? If they have trouble with its wholesome content, and the use of the word "God", why not put it on Sunday mornings? If NBC had their way, Davy and Goliath would not have aired. Hooray for the Veggitales Videos and DVD's where they are complete.

I am not at all for the removing of God from shows, but I think it's a positive thing that NBC is airing Veggie Tales. Even edited, Veggie Tales contains great stories that I think will point kids to God. I'm not sure how good of an impression NBC will have of Christians if we storm them with complaints, since no one forced them to air the show in the first place. Just some food for thought...
